Cuba at a Cross Roads, the New American Strategy is a highly detailed account of Cuban history, U.S.– Cuba relations and a polemic against the United States embargo on commerce with Cuba. Written by American author Daniel Bruno Sanz (aka Daniel Bruno) and published in 2009 by Booksurge, a division of Amazon, the book’s thesis is that external pressure to force change in Cuba has been harmful to Cuban people while not effecting its stated objective of regime change. Sanz asserts that US policy has had the effect of entrenching the Castro brothers in power and retarding the evolution of Cuban politics.
Cuba at a Cross Roads, The New American Strategy, is one of the most painstakingly detailed accounts of Cuba-United States relations to date and includes a number of the author’s personal anecdotes. Sanz’s position is that the United States embargo (aka el bloqueo or the blockade) unwittingly assists the government of Cuba to enforce unpopular policies at home by creating a permanent state of emergency that links all internal dissent to foreign Imperialist interference in the country’s internal affairs while simultaneously encouraging Cuba’s best and brightest to take up automatic residency and benefits in the United States rather than to remain on the island where they might influence the outcome of events.
